Hengelo

A rainy morning in Hengelo starts within the dry confines of St. Lambertus Basilica. By noon, the Museum Hengelo and the interactive Oyfo Technics Museum provide perfect indoor escapes. In the afternoon, we explore the striking Kasbah housing, where the architecture offers some overhead cover. The walk ends in the historic Tuindorp garden village, with wet bricks reflecting the evening lights.

In wintery Hengelo, we warm up in the morning inside the basilica. We spend the midday hours in the heated halls of the Oyfo Museum to escape the chill. Since darkness falls early, we visit the Kasbah settlement in the early afternoon before dusk settles over the park. The day ends with a hot drink near the beautifully lit Tuindorp.

Your bike tour starts in the historic 't Lansink garden village and takes you to the architectural wonder of the Kasbah.

Despite the rain, Hengelo is a bike-friendly city. We start in Tuindorp and cycle quickly to the Kasbah. We spend midday in the museums to bridge the wettest hours. The basilica and city hall are close together, allowing for short bursts of cycling. The day ends at Metropool, where you can recover in the dry.

By car, the rain in Hengelo is no obstacle. We park right by Tuindorp and then drive to the Kasbah, staying dry throughout. The city center offers parking garages near the basilica and Museum Hengelo. In the afternoon, we explore the Oyfo district and end the day at the park, with the car nearby if a shower hits.
